Many thanks for considering a humanist Naming ceremony. Whatever the reason for a NAMING- a recent birth, an addition to your family, a public declaration of identity - I offer non-religious ceremonies that are made especially for you, and which reflect your story, values and beliefs.
Many people opt for a humanist Naming ceremony after rejecting the idea of a traditional religious event, yet wanting some way to mark a significant moment in the lives of themselves and their family. Whilst humanist ceremonies are non-religious in view, they are not anti-religion. I aim to make all my naming ceremonies inclusive, happy, relaxed and memorable occasions for all involved.
